SIEMENS Building Technologies

Siemens Building Technologies provides a complete offering of technical infrastructure for security, comfort and efficiency in buildings. Innovative products, systems, total solutions and services – worldwide.

Company history and expertise

On October 1, 1998, Siemens AG acquired the industrial holdings of Swiss-based Electrowatt AG, which included Landis & Staefa and Cerberus Pyrotronics, leaders in building automation and fire alarm & life safety respectively. Combining these leaders with its own related businesses, Siemens AG created a new operating company: Siemens Building Technologies. In June 2001, Siemens Building Technologies established a presence in the rapidly growing electronic security market by acquiring the Security Technologies Group. Today, Siemens Building Technologies, Ltd., offers from a single source the industry's most comprehensive range of building performance solutions. Siemens Building Technologies provides its customers with expertise in the following areas:

Security & Fire Safety Products

Siemens is a leading international manufacturer and distributor of products for security systems and fire detection serving OEM customers as well as selected distribution partners. Siemens Building Technologies division provides high-quality products such as fire detectors, gas detectors, flame detectors, fire panels, intrusion detectors, access controllers and video surveillance cameras (CCTV).

Security Solutions

arket security requirements have been recently developing from the traditional protection of human life and property toward securing entire business processes. In this context, electronic systems, total solutions and services are gaining in importance and need to be integrated in overriding business processes such as IT or building management. Siemens makes it a priority for coordinated, innovative offerings tailored to specific market segments extending from risk consulting through the design and assembly of systems and the related maintenance service to the operation of alarm control centers and the outsourcing of customer-related security processes. Our security systems cover the entire spectrum: intrusion protection, video surveillance, access control and time management, track and trace.

Fire Safety Solutions

For over 150 years Siemens has been carrying out intensive research into the effects of fire and fire-related phenomena. In the world's largest privately operated fire testing laboratory we run through every possible fire scenario from beginning to end time and time again. With the result that our researchers and developers have managed to generate a stream of innovations that set new standards. The uses and purposes for which buildings and rooms are designed are just as diverse as the appropriate fire safety measures. An airport, for instance, has very different fire protection requirements from those of a museum while the emission levels of a hotel kitchen differ massively from those of a furnace room, a conference room or a bank. No matter how complex your fire detection, alarm, evacuation, extinguishing or danger management needs, our consultants and designers work closely with you to define, plan and install a system that meets them precisely.
